La Biblia de las Americas
No pueden, pues, los hijos de Israel hacer frente a sus enemigos; vuelven la espalda delante de sus enemigos porque han venido a ser anatema. No estaré más con vosotros a menos que destruyáis las cosas dedicadas al anatema de en medio de vosotros.
La Biblia Reina-Valera
Por esto los hijos de Israel no podrán estar delante de sus enemigos, sino que delante de sus enemigos volverán las espaldas; por cuanto han venido á ser anatema: ni seré más con vosotros, si no destruyereis el anatema de en medio de vosotros.
La Biblia Reina-Valera Gomez
Por esto los hijos de Israel no podrán estar delante de sus enemigos, sino que delante de sus enemigos volverán la espalda; por cuanto han venido a ser anatema. Ya no seré más con vosotros, al menos que destruyáis el anatema de en medio de vosotros.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies,.... Being forsaken of God for the sin committed among them:

[but] turned [their] backs before their enemies: had not courage to face them, but fled as soon as they appeared:

because they were accursed; of God for the accursed thing that had been taken, as was threatened would be their case, should they take any of it; Joshua 6:18;

neither will I be with you any more, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you; that is, until they had put to death the person who had taken of the accursed thing, and made himself thereby accursed, and even all the camp of Israel; till this was done, the Lord would not be with them to protect and defend them, and give them success against their enemies.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Accursed - Compare Joshua 6:17-18.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 7:12. Because they were accursed — From this verse it appears that the nature of the execration or anathema was such, that those who took of the thing doomed to destruction fell immediately under the same condemnation. The inhabitants of Jericho and all that they had were accursed: therefore they and all their substance were to be destroyed. The Israelites took of the accursed thing, and therefore became accursed with it. This was certainly understood when the curse was pronounced: Every man who touches this property shall be involved in the same execration. Achan therefore was sufficiently aware of the risk he ran in taking any part of the anathematized thing; and when viewed in this light, the punishment inflicted on him will appear to be perfectly just and proper.
